Community-Aware Assessment of Social Textual Engagement and Resonance: A Human-Centric Perspective on User-Generated Content Evaluation
Tianjiao Li, Kai Zhao, Xiang Li +2
Traditional Video Quality Assessment (VQA) focuses narrowly on aesthetic fidelity, overlooking the complex social dynamics that define quality in User-Generated Content (UGC). In t…
TIGER: Traceable Inference with Graph-Based Evidence Routing for Mitigating Hallucinations in Multimodal Generation
Kaixiang Zhao, Tianrun Yu, Shawn Huang +3
We study fact-level repair for multimodal generation, where a fluent output may contain specific facts that are not supported by the input. Existing inference-time repair methods o…
LARK: Learnability-Grounded Trajectory Selection for Efficient Reasoning Distillation
Tianrun Yu, Kaixiang Zhao, Chih-Chun Chen +5
We study trajectory selection for reasoning distillation, where teacher-generated reasoning trajectories are selectively used as supervision for a student model. Existing methods r…
GraphIP-Bench: How Hard Is It to Steal a Graph Neural Network, and Can We Stop It?
Kaixiang Zhao, Bolin Shen, Yuyang Dai +2
Graph neural networks (GNNs) deployed as cloud services can be stolen through model-extraction attacks, which train a surrogate from query responses to reproduce the target's behav…
FRAME: Forensic Routing and Adaptive Multi-path Evidence Fusion for Image Manipulation Detection
Kaixiang Zhao, Tianrun Yu, Aoxu Zhang +3
The proliferation of sophisticated image editing tools and generative artificial intelligence models has made verifying the authenticity of digital images increasingly challenging,…
FACTOR: Counterfactual Training-Free Test-Time Adaptation for Open-Vocabulary Object Detection
Kaixiang Zhao, Mao Ye, Lihua Zhou +4
Open-vocabulary object detection often fails under distribution shifts, as it can be misled by spurious correlations between non-causal visual attributes (e.g., brightness, texture…
